In an episode of Arrested Development, upper-middle-class matriarch Lucille scolds Michael for charging his brother Gob for a Bluth frozen banana. “I mean, it’s one banana, Michael,” she says. “What could it cost, ten dollars?” Michael, taken aback by her obliviousness, responds, “You’ve never actually set foot in a supermarket, have you?” She hasn’t, and neither has Donald Trump. He’s certainly never bought ingredients for a home-cooked meal — not with his trash food diet of KFC and taco bowls — and he apparently has no idea how much candy costs. Trump would be terrible on The Price Is Right.

During a particularly hostile press conference at the White House on Thursday, the president, who previously accused Hillary Clinton of being on drugs, called the country “drug-infested.” He continued, “Drugs are becoming cheaper than candy bars. We’re not going to let it happen any longer.”

Let’s do some quick fact checking: according to Price of Weed, the first Google search result for “price of marijuana,” the average cost for an ounce of “medium-quality” pot in America is $279.24. According to my local grocery store, the average cost for Snickers, a “medium-quality” candy bar, is, like, $1. Even something nicer, like this bag of Gold Chocolate Caramels — presumably a Trump favorite — will only set you back $5.99. Then again, you have to pay for shipping, which is probably another $700. Trump’s onto something!

1. It’s a semi exaggeration to get a point across but the world lives to pick things apart.

2. Why didn’t you search heroin prices on google? You did the same thing Trump tried doing but by going to marijuana it will outprice candy by a ton. I get you have a point to prove, but if we are being righteous against Trump, let’s attack Heroin as well?

Ok, average price of heroin is roughly $100 per gram(you can Google that). Snickers are about 62 grams. What is your point? If it was to show what a dumb fuck Trump and his follower are, congrats! Good job!

Look Scotty, we all know you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. So why don’t you google what the nearest community college is, take some courses (on anything really), and get yourself a nice tidy job as a guidance counselor in a school for slow kids. It’s really the only thing you’re cut out to do.

Drew, graduated from a 4 year. Thanks. Clearly Trump is using hyperbole here, but everyone takes it so literal they don’t understand the point, but yet I’m the one who needs to go to community college?

My point is it’s hyperbole used to elicit strong feelings one way or another. Obviously it’s not cheaper, however the author picked expensive product to try to get the point across when other drugs go for less.

You do realize that I could list the number of lies that Agent Orange has said since he got elected and it would engulf what you just wrote, correct? The man doesn’t even know the amount of electoral college votes he got, and he brags about it constantly.

Ok idiot, he said “in some neighborhoods it easier to get a gun than a book.” Are you arguing that it’s not true? Some stats for ignorant Trump voters. There are around 23,000 bookstores in the U.S. and over 120,000 gun dealers. So, guess what, in some neighborhoods it IS easier to get a gun than a book. Obama was the idiot, but Mr. “drugs are cheaper than candy” is a sharp, deep thinker right? lololololololo!!!!!
When will Brawndo be available? It has to be on the way.
